MAC Heavenly creature discussion

[Richelle83]

Finally! I made it through to the end. I am going crazy. I am so tempted to run to the Pro Store today to get the collection. Today is the first day of my vacation so it would be perfect. I just don't think I would be able to do much swirl hunting as they keep all the products in the back. The MAs there have been nice enough to look for certain veining in the past if I told them what I wanted (more pink, less gold, etc.) but I think it would be too much for them to do this time. I'm hoping if I go to the regular store on release day, I can just look through the drawer with the MA. But all these gorgeous pics! I'm so tempted to go.

Richelle! You got perfect swirl worthy products. You really lucked out.

I think I may just make a list of products and the type of swirl/colors I want - that might work. Oh but to wait a whole week to get this collection? Torture. But I'm really appreciative of all the pics and swatches everyone has posted. It makes it easier to know what to look for. Maybe I could add pics of the swirls I want to the list (just to fill up the long wait.)


Was anyone able to pre-order at a free standing Mac store? Are only counters doing pre-sales? The last time I asked at my fave Mac store, they said no. Maybe I could call when they open and ask. It wouldn't hurt right?

I wonder where Liba is? Maybe she's having trouble getting through all the posts as well.

Funny I completely forgot that I posted the pic with all the mineralized products! Crazy week!

Liba is MIA, still want to read her analysis.

I am surprised nothing else has sold out... Its such a beautiful collection!

 

[Prettypackages]

I'll have to think about that lol. I already know one of the neutral MES for this collection reminds me of Jaunty, but now I can't remember which one it was. I think it's Invincible Light.

Ok cool. Thank you.

I was wondering if it would be any bronzey colors out there like mulch,tempting or the two from UD NAked (toasted, hustle, smog)

Oh gads, I must stop the madness. Now I want lippies that are sold out (Cut a Caper) - I have so many lippies now - and blushes won't work with my NC 20 skin tone, and that are sold out (Supernova) and MSF that won't work with my skin tone (Earthshine) and all of the MES when I have drawers full of eye shadows, and why???? Oh, could be because they are all so beautiful, but must stop the madness!!! I could never use up my stash now and I wear a lot of makeup every day except some times not on Sunday unless I'm going out. But this collection is just so crazy beautiful.

Yes if your on RT.50 you just keep going past Annapolis to the Bay Bridge (there is a fee to get on it but not on the return trip) and after the bridge its another few miles.

Thanks for the info. I wonder if I can make it there this weekend. And loved your Heavenly Creature video! I appreciate that you explained how to use the MES wet. Lol, I'm still figuring this stuff out. Your reaction to swatching Center of the Universe is priceless.

I think I'm hesitant 'cause I can't imagine using it as a blush due to having such oily skin I'd fear it. But ugh, it's SO pretty. I use Lightscapade as my daily highlight because it's just a neutral... I'm useless at pairing things together, lol. SO glad I don't have to worry about all of them though.

Me too. The only MSF I may be able to successfully skip is Earthshine, since I know I couldn't pull that off as a blush.

It is gorgeous! I'm only stopping myself because of savings/wedding/trip to Disney, and I have to draw the line somewhere. I'd rather use my budget for a few things that I know I'll use rather than something that, for me, probably wouldn't get as much use or love.

 

[2browneyes]

It has been accomplished!!!!!!!!! Order placed for all csg....can't wait to get my hands on them

See that's just it! I could use it and buy 2 eye shadows from the perm line perhaps. Hepcat and Shimmermoss are being d/c'd and I haven't picked those up yet. I likely should just leave it as I know I won't give it a ton of love but oh it's so gorgeous.

 

[elegant-one]

What an amazing MAC buying campaign with the overnight shipping!!!! You look at the gorgeous new makeup, order it, go to bed & boom - next day you've got it

 

[OhSoJaded]

I'll also be checking out swatches tonight! Can you believe I've been so busy I haven't seen any?!?

Thanks Lou!!!

And good luck! I've been trying to keep up w/ all the swatches, but this thread is on FIIIIIIIIIIIYAH. Love all the HC convo!

Yeah I ended up getting Shimmermoss from Nordstrom so I wouldn't miss out. It's hard for me to leave things too! I still so want Galaxy Rose even though I have several unopened lipglosses because I'm trying to use up some others.

 

[Rinstar]

OK I think I'm going to break down and order the other two C/s/g and Earthly MES. I just want to make sure I don't need any other MES first!

OOH, i know! I can't wait to read it when she has time. I love how detailed she is.

Hmm. I've never bought a MES before b/c my eyes are pretty sensitive, but all the swatches are making me wannnnnnnnnnnt them. Debating on trying one. Who knows, they may be ok for me right?

It really is hard. Once I have it in my head I really have to force myself not to do the damage. I'm really glad I'm not a gloss girl 'cause I'm able to easily skip those and I'm not an MES girl either. Definitely have to get Ring of Saturn, Venus & Fire Sign but after that I'm trying to not buy a thing, lol.

 

[Milegolas]

my order has finally been shipped! estimated delivery for tomorrow ^^ so excited!!!

 

[Icecaramellatte]

Just called my store to verify they were launching next week. I did ask for a pre-sale but it was a no go. Which is no problem. I will be there on store opening Thursday.

 

[2browneyes]

Elegant, I could see you typing 'that'll look amazing on you' as I was filling my cart with csg LOL I'm almost tempted to order Light Year but I think I will just hold off until next week....that or until I get an email stating that NAILS is expiring soon then I'll probably panic and place an order SMH Y does that happen? lol

 

[baghdad81]

I am still waiting on my order and star power dols out so I am hoping I did get it. I stupidlly forgot the overnight code but I ordered Monday

 

[nikou]

I'm falling in love with Stratus!
I've never had a deep plum colour blush. I'm willing to sacrifice buying it even though it may not suit my NC15 skin.
Also ring of saturn is gorgeous.
However I do wish that one of the MSF grabbed me. I like star wonder but not as much as I should.

I can't wait for T to do lip swatches of the cremesheen glasses
